Went to play in VR today and my openXR says “XrResult failure (XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE) Origin: xrcreateinstance(&createinfo, instance.put)

I’ve tried rebooting and uninstalling openxr. Never had this issue before, any ideas?

On Reddit, someone said: "Have you just installed the NIS (Nvidea Image Scaling) mod? I have the same issue straight after installing NIS, and when I uninstalled NIS, all good again."

I don't have NIS activated in either NVidia Control Panel or NVidia GeForce Experience.

Anyone have any idea what's causing this? 

This is the log file. I've highlighted what appears to be issues with DirectX 11.

Random thoughts

did you update your video drivers recently? Which version are you using the studio or the game ready? Try switching to the other

If you have the most recent, try rolling it back to a previous version.

This is from an article unrelated to openxr but talked d3d device being lost....

I found it. It was OpenKneeboard.

Glad you were able to fix it!

Good you found out and for letting us know @Vonrd

 

I saw your message and thought I'd check in our EU JG1 session yesterday evening to see if all was working on my side and let you know. All worked fine on my side, I do have OpenKneeboard installed BTW, though I did not use it. Did you uninstall/remove OpenKneeboard to get things working again or did you do something else? I would like to use OpenKneeboard in the future, hence my question.

@Greif - I uninstalled using Windows Add / Remove Programs and then had to delete an Openkneeboard file in the Registry located here: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1\ApiLayers\Implicit

I'm going to wait a while before trying Openkneeboard again since it seems that others are having the same issue as I saw in the OpenXr Discord. Maybe there will be a fix in a future update.

@Vonrd FYI, I upgraded to OpenKneeBoard 1.3.1 which was released this week and ran it successfully in IL2, no hiccups.
